HYDRAULIC FUSES AND HOSE FITTINGS

The Stratoflex Products Division designs and manufactures Waterman® hydraulic fuses and flow regulators for aerospace and derivative markets. 

Hydraulic flow regulators are typically installed in a hydraulic line to limit the rate of flow within predetermined values, regardless of variation in system pressure or workloads.

Hydraulic fuses are “normally open” valves that are designed and constructed to close in the event of certain types of system malfunction. The fuse is intended primarily to protect the system from loss of reservoir fluid in the event of a ruptured tube, hose, or component.
